Even though this is satire, you could rebut a few of his arguments (specifically, the typing skills one).
Can we just move on as a development community and let each developer/team choose whatever language, framework, or toolset they find suits them best?
- fleitz 16y agoThey are free to choose, but if a friend came to you and said "Hey I'm doing a web startup, I want to write it in assembly" wouldn't you advise him against it unless there was some kind of restraint that required running on embedded hardware? Even then you might suggest C if a compiler is available for that chip.
- leftnode 16y agoSure, but if someone said, "I'm going to use PHP, Python, or Ruby", I'd say, "Use whichever one you feel most comfortable with. You can be competent or incompetent in any of them." Done deal, we can stop fighting about it now.
